SA earmarks tourism to thwart economic headwinds

from MTHULISI SIBANDA in Dullstroom, MpumalangaDULLSTROOM – SOUTH Africa has launched the Tourism Month with a call to local citizens to explore the teeming attractions in the country and eventually revive the stressed economy.

Minister of Tourism, Tokozile Xasa, launched the initiative in Dullstroom in the northeastern Mpumalanga Province on the back of economic challenges.

The slide has been characterised by rating firms downgrading the country’s credit outlook to “junk” status.
